Video of a BBC News broadcast from the World Trade Center
area on 9/11 has surfaced revealing that the BBC reported
the collapse of Building 7 approximately 23 minutes before
it actually went down. The reporter is seen in the video
apparently reading a teleprompter reporting the collapse
while the building is still standing in the background
behind her.
The BBC has claimed that it lost all of the video of its
reportage on 9/11, but a copy of the report has been played
on a British television program and is now posted on the
internet. As can be seen in our full report, dozens of
prominent
US officials are now questioning the 9/11 story.
BBC News Editor Richard Porter has stated on his BBC News
blog that
"We didn't get told in advance that buildings were going to
fall down. We didn't receive press releases or scripts in
advance of events happening." He has also stated that the
reporter involved, Jane Standley, both "has the events
seared on her mind" and "doesn't remember minute-by-minute
what she said."
However, what she said and when she did so is now a matter
of public record
despite the fact that, according to Mr. Porter's claim, "we
no longer have the original tapes of our 9/11 coverage."
The report in question begins approximately 10 minutes into
the BBC video. To see it,

It is difficult to understand how a news organization could
have made a mistake such as this, unless a pre-arranged
script was read at the wrong time. The collapse was simply
ignored by the 9/11 commission. It has been separately
attributed to a subsurface fire. Certainly, it was not in
any way anticipated.
The media, in general, tries to scoff at the idea that the
events of 9/11 have not been properly investigated, but
numerous present and former US government officials are not
scoffing.
Senator Max Cleland - Former member of the 9/11 Commission,
resigned in December 2003 "I, as a member of the [9/11]
Commission, cannot look any American in the eye... It is a
national scandal... this White House wants to cover [9/11]
up."
Senator Mark Dayton - Member, Senate Committee on Armed
Services and Homeland Security "[NORAD] lied to the American
people, they lied to Congress and they lied to your 9/11
Commission...the most gross incompetence and dereliction of
responsibility and negligence"
Congressman Ron Paul - Vice Chairman of the Oversight and
Investigations subcommittee "the [9/11] investigations that
have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real
explanation"
Congressman Curt Weldon - "[9/11 Commission] there's
something very sinister going on here... something
desperately wrong... This involved what is right now the
covering up of information that led to the deaths of 3,000
people"
Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney - Member of the House
Armed
Services Committee "the [9/11] Commission ran up against
obstruction by the administration and non-cooperation from
government agencies... the errors and omissions immediately
jumped out at us"
Director of the FBI, Louis Freeh - "[9/11 Commission]
findings--raises serious challenges to the commission's
credibility and, if the facts prove out, might just render
the commission historically insignificant itself"
Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Treasury, Paul Craig
Roberts, PhD - "Distinguished national and international
scientists and scholars present massive evidence that the
9/11 Commission Report is a hoax and that the 9/11
"terrorist attack" has been manipulated to serve a hegemonic
agenda in the Middle East... We know that it is strictly
impossible for any building, much less steel columned
buildings, to "pancake" at free fall speed. Therefore, it is
a non-controversial fact that the official explanation of
the collapse of the WTC buildings is false."
Assistant Secretary of Housing, Catherine Austin Fitts -
"Regarding 9/11 "The official story could not possibly have
happened... It's not possible. It's not operationally
feasible... The Commission was a? whitewash. "
U.S. Army Intelligence officer, Federal Prosecutor, Office
of Special Investigations, U.S. Department of Justice, John
Loftus ~ "The information provided by European intelligence
services prior to 9/11 was so extensive that it is no longer
possible for either the CIA or FBI to assert a defence of
incompetence"
Foreign Service Officer, George Kenney - " I cannot believe,
much as I might like to, the standard account of 9/11"
Foreign Service Officer, J. Michael Springman - "Fifteen of
the nineteen people who allegedly flew airplanes into
buildings in the United States got their visas from the same
CIA Consulate at Jeddah"
Deputy Attorney General, State of Pennsylvania, Philip J.
Berg, Esquire - "The official story of what actually took
place on 9/11 is a lie. "
Major General U.S. Army, Commanding General of U.S. Army
Intelligence and Security Command, Albert Stubblebine ~ "I
look at the hole in the Pentagon and I look at the size of
an airplane that was supposed to have hit the Pentagon. And
I said, 'The plane does not fit in that hole'. So what did
hit the Pentagon?"
Col. Ronald D. Ray, U.S. Marine Corps - Deputy Assistant
Secretary of Defense,? Deputy Director of Field Operations
for the U.S. Marine Corps Historical Center - "I'm astounded
that the conspiracy theory advanced by the administration
could in fact be true and the evidence does not seem to
suggest that's accurate"
Col. Robert Bowman, U.S. Air Force, Director of Advanced
Space Programs, PhD? Aeronautics and Nuclear Engineering - "
the official 9/11 story is impossible .. There is a cover up
.. high levels of our government don't want us to know what
happened .. highly placed individuals in the administration
.. Dick Cheney .. the very kindest thing we can say about
George W Bush .. is high treason and conspiracy to commit
murder"
Col. George Nelson, U.S. Air Force, aircraft accident
investigator ~ "I never witnessed nor even heard of an
aircraft loss, where the wreckage was accessible, that
prevented investigators from finding enough hard evidence to
positively identify the make, model, and specific
registration number of the aircraft -- and in most cases the
precise cause of the accident... The government alleges that
four wide-body airliners crashed on the morning of September
11 2001, resulting in the deaths of more than 3,000 human
beings, yet not one piece of hard aircraft evidence has been
produced in an attempt to positively identify any of the
four aircraft. On the contrary, it seems only that all
potential evidence was deliberately kept hidden from view ..
with all the evidence readilty available at the pentagon
crash site, any unbiased rational investigator could only
conclude that a Boeing 757 did not fly into the Pentagon as?
alleged. Similarly, with all the evidence available at the
Pennsylvania crash site, it was most doubtful that a
passenger airliner caused the obvious hole in the ground and
certainly not the Boeing 757 as alleged .. the most heinous
conspiracy in our country's history "
Major Douglas Rokke, PhD, U.S. Army ~ "Regarding the impact
at the Pentagon on 9/11/2001 when you look at the damage,
it
was obviously a missile."
Capt. Russ Wittenberg, U.S. Air Force, fighter pilot,
commercial pilot flying 707, 720, 727, 737, 747, 757, 767,
and 777's.? Had previously flown Flight 93, which impacted
in Pennsylvania, and Flight 175, the second plane to hit the
WTC ~"The government story they handed us about 9/11 is
total B.S. plain and simple...[Regarding Flight 77]"The
airplane could not have flown at those speeds which they
said it did without going into what they call a high speed
stall.? The airplane won't go that fast if you start pulling
those high G maneuvers at those bank angles... The vehicle
that hit the Pentagon was not Flight 77"
Lt. Col. Karen U. Kwiatkowski, PhD, U.S. Air Force, Office
of the Secretary of Defense, staff of the Director of the
National Security Agency ~ "It is as a scientist that I have
the most trouble with the official government conspiracy
theory, mainly because it does not satisfy the rules of
probability or physics.? The collapses of the World Trade
Center buildings clearly violate the laws of probability and
physics...There was a dearth of visible debris on the
relatively unmarked Pentagon, where I stood only minutes
after the impact. Beyond this strange absence of airliner
debris, there was no sign of the kind of damage one would
expect from the impact of a large airliner... this visible
evidence or lack thereof may also have been apparent to the
Sec of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who in an unfortunate slip
of the tongue referred to the aircraft that slamed into the
Pentagon as a ' missile ' ... I saw nothing of significance
at the point of contact ~ no airplane metal or cargo debris
was blowing on the lawn in front of the damaged building as
smoke billowed from within the Pentagon .. all of us staring
at the Pentagon that morning were indeed looking for such
debris, but what we expected was not evident .. the same is
true with regard to the damage we expected .. but I did not
see this kind of damage. Rather, the facade had a rather
small hole, no larger than 20 feet in diameter. Although
this facade later collapsed, it remained standing for 30 0r
40 minutes, with the roof remaining relatively straight ..
The scene, in short, was not what I would have expected
from
a strike by a large jetliner. It was, however, exactly what
one would have expected if a missile had struck the
Pentagon "
Senior Military Affairs Journalist at the Naval Postgraduate
School, Barbara Honegger, MS ~ "The US military, not al
Qaeda, had the sustained access weeks before 9/11 to also
plant controlled demolition charges throughout the
superstructures of WTC 1 and WTC 2, and in WTC 7, which
brought down all three buildings on 9/11...A US military
plane, not one piloted by al Qaeda, performed the highly
skilled, high speed 270 degree dive towards the Pentagon
that Air Traffic Controllers on 9/11 were sure was a
military plane as they watched it on their screens. Only a
military aircraft, not a civilian plane flown by al Qaeda,
would have given off the "Friendly" signal needed to disable
the Pentagon's anti aircraft missile batteries as it
approached the building...Only the US military, not al
Qaeda, had the ability to break all of its Standard
Operating Procedures to paralyze its own emergency response
system"
Capt. Gregory M. Zeigler, PhD, U.S. Army, U.S. Army
Intelligence Officer ~ "I knew from September 18, 2001, that
the official story about 9/11 was false. ... [A]nomalies
poured in rapidly: the hijackers' names appearing in none of
the published flight passenger lists, BBC reports of stolen
identities of the alleged hijackers or the alleged hijackers
being found alive, the obvious demolitions of WTC 1 and
2...and WTC7...not hit by an airplane...the lack of
identifiable Boeing 757 wreckage at the Pentagon"
Capt. Eric H. May, U.S. Army, Intelligence officer ~ "I view
the 9/11 event ...as a matter that implies either...A)
passive participation by the Bush White House through a
deliberate stand-down or B) active execution of a plot by
rogue elements of government, starting with the White House
itself, in creating a spectacle of destruction that would
lead the United States into an invasion of the Middle East"
Former Chairman, National Intelligence Estimates, CIA,
responsible for preparing the President's Daily Brief, U.S.
Army Intelligence Officer, Raymond L. McGovern ~ " I think
at simplest terms, there's a cover-up.? The 9/11 report is a
joke...just as Hitler in 1933 cynically exploited the
burning of the parliament building, the Reichstag, this is
exactly what our President did in exploiting 9/11...making a
war of aggression on a country that he knew had nothing to
do with 9/11...that's certainly an impeachable offense...But
compelling evidence for an even more disturbing conclusion:
that the 9/11 attacks were themselves orchestrated by this
administration precisely so they could be thus exploited."
National Intelligence Officer and Director of the CIA's
Office of Regional and Political Analysis, William
Christison ~? "there is persuasive evidence that the events
of September did not unfold as the Bush administration and
the 9/11 Commission would have us believe.? An airliner
almost certainly did not hit The Pentagon. The North and
South Towers of the World Trade Center almost certainly did
not collapse and fall to earth because hijacked aircraft hit
them...this all was totally an inside job. I have since
decided that....at least some elements in this US government
had contributed in some way or other to causing 9/11 to
happen or at least allowing it to happen... The reason that
the two towers in New York actually collapsed and fell all
the way to the ground was controlled explosions rather than
just being hit by two airplanes. All of the characteristics
of these demolitions show that they almost had to have been
controlled explosions... I think you almost have to look at
the 9/11 Commission Report as a joke and not a serious piece
of analysis at all... It's a monstrous crime"
?U.S. Marine Corps intelligence officer, case officer CIA.
Robert David Steele ~ "I am forced to conclude that there is
sufficient evidence to indict (not necessarily convict) Dick
Cheney, Karl Rove and others...This is, without question,
the most important modern reference on state-sponsored
terrorism, and also the reference that most pointedly
suggests that select rogue elements within the US
Government, most likely led by Dick Cheney with the
assistance of George Tenet, Buzzy Kronguard, and others
close to the Wall Street gangs, are the most guilty of
state-sponsored terrorism...I'm absolutely certain that WTC
7 was brought down by controlled demolition and that as far
as I'm concerned means that this case has not been properly
investigated.? There's no way that building could have come
down without controlled demolition"
CIA Case Officer, Specialist in the Middle East, Directorate
of Operations, Awarded Career Intelligence Medal, Robert
Baer "Regarding the opinion there was an aspect of
'inside job' to 9/11 within the U.S. government, there is
that possibility, the evidence points at it."
Counter-terrorism expert in the Security Division of the
federal Aviation Administration. Team leader of the FAA's
Red (Terrorism) Team in the Federal Air Marshall program,
Coast Guard officer, Bogdan Dzakovic ~ "At worst, I think
the 9/11 Commission Report is treasonous."
Minister of Justice, West Germany, Horst Ehmke, PhD -
"Terrorists could not have carried out such an operation
with four hijacked planes without the support of a secret
service."
State Secretary, Federal Ministry of Defense, West Germany,
Andreas von Buelow, PhD - "The official story is so
inadequate and far-fetched that there must be another
one...This is unthinkable, without years-long support from
secret apparatuses of the state and industry."
President of Italy, Francesco Cossiga ~ "[9/11] could not be
accomplished without infiltrations in the radar and flight
security personnel."
General Leonid Ivashov, Chief of Staff, Russian armed
forces, Ministry of Defense ~ "Only secret services and
their current chiefs - or those retired but still having
influence inside the state organizations - have the ability
to plan, organize and conduct an operation [9/11] of such
magnitude...Osama bin Laden and "Al Qaeda" cannot be the
organizers nor the performers of the September 11 attacks.
They do not have the necessary organization, resources or
leaders."
Foreign Minister of Egypt, Mohamed Hassanein Heikal ~ "Bin
Laden does not have the capabilities for an operation [9/11]
of this magnitude. When I hear Bush talking about al-Qaida
as if it was Nazi Germany or the communist party of the
Soviet Union, I laugh because I know what is there. Bin
Laden has been under surveillance for years: every telephone
call was monitored and al-Qaida has been penetrated by
American intelligence, Pakistani intelligence, Saudi
intelligence, Egyptian intelligence. They could not have
kept secret an operation that required such a degree of
organisation and sophistication."
Chief of Staff, Pakistani Army, General Mirza Aslam Beg ~
"The information which is now coming up, goes to prove that
involvement by the 'rogue elements' of the U.S. military and
intelligence organization is getting more obvious. Osama bin
Laden and al-Qaeda definitely do not have the knowhow and
the capability to launch such operations involving such high
precision coordination, based on information and expertise."
European Parliament, Committee on Security and Defense,
Giulietto Chiesa ~ regarding 9-11 "Billions of people were
given only one explanation....which is entirely
false....everyone who dares to question it is treated as if
he was a fool."
French Army Intelligence and artillery officer, Col.
Pierre-Henri Bunel, Expert in the effects of artillery
weapons and explosives ~ Regarding Department of Defense
photos of the Pentagon on 9/11 "Image of the impact on
the Pentagon is very instructive as to the nature of the
explosion. ... It corresponds to a detonation of an
explosive with high energetic power.? The explosion does not
correspond to a deflagration of kerosene...suggests a single
engine flying vehicle much smaller in size than an
airliner...resembles the effects of anti-concrete hollow
charges that I have been able to observe on a number of
battlefields...lead me therefore to think that the
detonation that struck the building was that of a
high-powered hollow charge used to destroy hardened
buildings and carried by an aerial vehicle, a missile."
Safety Engineer and accident Analyst, National Safety
Technology Authority, Finland, Heikki Kurttila, PhD ~
"Conclusion: The observed collapse time of WTC 7 was 6.5
seconds. That is only half a second longer than it would
have taken for the top of the building to fall to the ground
in a vacuum, and half a second shorter than the falling time
of an apple when air resistance is taken into account. ...
The great speed of the collapse and the low value of the
resistance factor strongly suggest controlled demolition."
Counter-Terrorism Officer, MI5 (Britain), David Shayler -
regarding 9-11 "The available evidence indicates that people
in key positions in the FBI, the State Department, the CIA
and so on were not loyal to the Constitution; that they saw
an opportunity in plans laid down by genuine Islamic
terrorists to carry out an operation that would shock the
world and would therefore justify U.S. adventurism in the
middle East, particularly in Afghanistan and Iraq."
Chairman, 9/11 Commission, Thomas H. Kean, Former Governor
of New Jersey - "FAA and NORAD officials advanced an
account
of 9/11 that was untrue...We, to this day, don't know why
NORAD told us what they told us...It was just so far from
the truth."
Vice Chairman, 9/11 Commission, Lee Hamilton, Permanent
Select Committee on Intelligence, Homeland Security Advisory
Council ~ "we got started late; we had a very short time
frame...we did not have enough money...We had a lot of
people strongly opposed to what we did. We had a lot of
trouble getting access to documents and to people. ... So
there were all kinds of reasons we thought we were set up to
fail"
9/11 Commissioner, Timothy J. Roemer, PhD, Permanent Select
Committee on Intelligence - "that panel members so
distrusted testimony from Pentagon officials that they
referred their concerns to the Pentagon's inspector
general...We were extremely frustrated with the false
statements we were getting"
Senior Counsel, 9/11 Commission, John J. Farmer, Jr., Former
Attorney General, NJ, Former Commissioner of the State
Commission of Investigations ~ "Some staff members and
commissioners of the Sept. 11 panel concluded that the
Pentagon's initial story of how it reacted to the 2001
terrorist attacks may have been part of a deliberate effort
to mislead the commission and the public. I was shocked at
how different the truth was from the way it was
described...The tapes told a radically different story from
what had been told to us and the public for two years."
